Today Ronald Weinland is to be before a judge to request a continuance in his trial. His trial for criminal tax evasion is set for 31 January 2012. Ron's lawyer/attorney has submitted a request to extend this timeline of a Federal trial a further 180 days.
Now his reason for requesting a continuance seems to stem from the enormous amount of receipts the U.S. government has accumulated from the five years of tax evasion Ron is charged with. It will take a long period of time to go over these receipts in order to explain to the court what these receipts really mean.
I would not be surprised if Ron's lawyers submit to the court that since it is the holiday season, "Mr Weinland should not be subjected to such a huge task of documenting this enormous pile of receipts during this festive and family oriented time of the year. The current date does leave Mr. Weinland approximately six weeks to examine these discoveries, but with the Christmas season taking the remainder of December and the first part of January, Mr Weinland would not have sufficient time to properly document these for a proper and fair defense.". Lawyers are so good at pushing baloney sandwiches.
Of course precedent could be indicated by the fact the former governor Blagosomething was sentenced to fourteen years in prison, but was allowed to return home for the Christmas season and report to prison sometime next year. "Therefore Pastor Weinland should be allowed the same graciousness during this Christmas season, so his families holiday may not be burdened by the stress which accumulates during the labourious defense process. Please allow Pastor Weinland to a fair trial by allowing him to focus on his defense after Christmas with his family and congregation, your Honour".
Now if in fact Ron's attorneys pull Christmas out of their bag of tricks, that would indeed be the most grand example of irony I have ever seen. The truth will be told on the official Ronald Weinland information blog.
That was a fun post to write.......and all because I was wondering if Ron's team would say something like "it's Christmas you Honour".

For those who do not understand what I mean by the irony of Christmas, let me explain. Armstrongism denounces Christmas as a pagan holiday. Ronald Weinland has stated that he hate, Hates, HATES Christmas. So for his lawyers to use Christmas as an excuse in any way would indeed be irony at it's finest.
His name should be Scrooge if he hates Christmas.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Ron had his trial date moved up to 20 March. Although this post was semifictional, I wonder if Christmas was mentioned today. I think Ron is a con artist, so I think there is a good chance "Christmas season" was mentioned.
And now there is a "Pentecost Continuance" as the trial is moved out 50 days.
So many excuses.
So little time.
and he still has to go to court before May 27th, so his continuance motion was in vain.
How will he get to Jerusalem if he is in Big Sandy Federal Prison? He will have to use his witness powers.
